Lowe Manufacturing XR-14 Skid Steer Trencher

Water lines, drain tile and electrical runs go in faster with a trencher than with a bucket and a shovel. Lowe's XR-14 is its trencher for standard flow skid steers in the 10 to 20 GPM range, with a 50,000 pound digging chain, a removable double-flighted spoil auger and a self-aligning boom with a grease cylinder tensioning system. Maintenance-free tapered roller bearings carry the boom nose. Pick the depth, width and digging chain for your ground.

The XR-14 is sold here as Lowe's package: trencher, universal skid steer mount, hoses and couplers. All standard mount XR trenchers can be side shifted by hand.
